Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"The interface is user-friendly and even if our tech isn't onsite, we can work with the owners to confirm that the data will be restored with no issues."
"We frequently use the granular restore option for when our users accidentally delete files or to recover emails from mailboxes. We have found that to be a must-have feature and it comes with the solution at no extra cost."
"We use the latest feature in Altaro called CDP (Continuous Data Protection) to back up our VMs as often as every five minutes. It allows us to make sure no data is accidentally deleted or overwritten."
"The ability to create or clone a virtual environment in a short period of time for testing is most valuable."
"I use customization to prevent any network and DNS collisions to the router."
"Our customers opt for virtualization because it's cheaper and better than non-virtualized solutions. VMware is probably the best on the market now."
"Most valuable features of vSphere 6.7, for us, at the management level would be: VCHA is a nice redundancy feature that they added in v6.7. I like the quality of life improvements with the VMFS-6 for using auto UNMAP on the data stores. And we really appreciate the improvements to the Clarity UI where we can manage Update Manager (VUM) and our vSAN stack within the modern interface."
"The ability of a running VM to be quickly relocated to another hypervisor or launched at another site via replicated storage greatly reduces downtime."
"It's very transparent and independent."
"The VMware community is always there and it is a valuable resource."
"The fact that we have the ability to easily scale out, and the ability to do maintenance on the underlying hardware without impacting our business applications, are important aspects."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"Stability."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"It would be nice to see a feature that backs up the host so that, in case of a server failure, an entire server could be restored all at once."
"The support for the latest version could be improved."
"It could be more composable. At present, a fluid pool is not available to us. It would be great to have the flexibility."
"They should make it more efficient and stable."
"I would like to start to using NSX in the next release."
"The HR proxy is actually a little bit tricky to install and setup."
"In addition, I think some of the backup features or the prediction features can be improved."
"I would like to see AI in future releases."
"The management of the product demonstration is weak."
